department people will surely
not like you.

6. Your previous personal
relationship within your
department and friends
need to move to a different
level .
You are not same any more
You are now the person
who assigns work

provide performance
appraisals
Speak to Hr. and your very
senior boss to find out

you in new leadership role..

for how you and your
team can best work
together to achieve the
goals and objectives of
the department.
Keep communicating
the goals and objectives
concisely

14. Changes need to bring in you
• Attitude.
• Self Discipline
• Taking the first step
• Commitment
• Be a doer and not a dreamer alone.

15. . Communication Skills
This includes both written and spoken
communication, including public
speaking. A good manager understands
the importance of clear
communication, meaning that his or
her instructions are always specific and
unambiguous, presentations are always
well prepared and delivered and
feedback is constructive, frequent and
effective.

16. Self-Motivation
As the manager the onus is on
you to motivate your team – this
is simply not going to happen if
you are unable to motivate
yourself. Maintaining a positive
outlook is vital, especially on
the bleaker days.

17. Flexibility
“The only constant is change.”
This saying, make of it what
you will, is particularly
relevant to management. One
thing you can be certain of as a
manager is that you will be
required to adapt to change
regularly and without warning
– how well you adapt to this
change is what is important.

18. Delegation
Managers with a “I’m the only
one who can do this task
properly” attitude soon learn
that that’s the quickest way to
go crazy with stress. Part of
being a good manager is
learning to trust your team
enough to delegate work to
them, as well as knowing
when and what to delegate.

19. Industry Knowledge
It is essential for a good
manager to keep on top of
industry related news and
developments, both so s/he
can work more effectively
in his or her industry and
also to facilitate better
networking and relationship
building,

20. Confidence
Managers are decision-
makers. This means a
manager needs to be able
to make decisions with
confidence, lead with
confidence and stand by
his or her convictions. Any
team would find difficulty
working with a manager
who seems unpredictable
and unsure of himself, just
as conversely teams as a
whole become more
confident with a strong
leader.

21. Reliability
Are you dependable? Can
your team, including juniors
and superiors, rely on you? This
is a vital trait that any good
manager should have.

22. Mediation
As a manager you will be
required to resolve
disputes in the workplace.
Are you capable of
remaining objective?
Can you smooth over
issues before they turn
into disputes?

23. Implementing Training
A good manager improves his
workforce (both as a whole and
individually) by implementing
training to increase skill sets,
improve cohesion among
workers and tackle relevant
problems within the
workplace. Not only does
training create a more
skilled workforce but it also
boosts morale.

24. Organization
Being organized, in terms of
projects, your staff, goals
etc. is important for any
manager. Without
organization you will be
unable to plan
effectively, execute goals
or measure you
success/failure.
